ACTOR CHEYENNE JACKSON AND BROOKLYN POET LAUREATE TINA CHANG JOIN CWP STUDENTS ON STAGE
Community-Word Project, a New York City-based arts education not-for-profit, hosted its 12th annual benefit on April 2, 2012, at Bonhams New York. The benefit, Writing Our Future, honored the remarkable voices of the young people who participate in Community-Word’s arts education programs.
More than 300 guests filled Bonham’s New York for selected readings by Broadway and TV actor Cheyenne Jackson (30 Rock, Glee, Finian’s Rainbow) and Brooklyn Poet Laureate Tina Chang (Half-Lit Houses, Of Gods & Strangers). Serving as Master of Ceremonies for the evening is actor and long-time Community-Word supporter Dion Graham (The Good Wife, The Wire, Malcolm X). Also included in the program were special performances by students participating in the creative writing, visual arts, drama, and music workshops the organization runs in public schools throughout New York City, as well as a special display of the unique poetry murals students create for their communities.
Among the young people on hand was Gigi Guzman, an alumna of Community-Word Project who currently serves on the Mayor’s Youth Leadership Council (MYLC). “No one knows all the difficulties young people face,” explained Ms. Guzman, “but Community-Word Project creates a safe place for young people like myself to come together, share our problems, and realize that we are not alone.”
